An early goal by John McGinn proved to be the difference between Aston Villa and Arsenal during a closely-contested tie at Villa Park. The Villans recorded their 15th straight home win at the expense of the Gunners, creating a new club record in the process with former Arsenal boss Unai Emery at the helm. Villa are now just a point adrift of second-placed Arsenal, who lost ground on Liverpool following the latter's earlier win.
